Well done! This image really leaped out. A strong, well-composed picture!

The portraits: it was obvious that the eye color was overdone. It took away from them for me. Sometimes it takes restraint to leave well enough alone.

Wonderful feeling. Well seen.

You've captured that magic twinkle in the model's eyes that sets this shot apart. Don't know if model was quite this "hippy". The dress has a nice swirl and action but kind of accentuated the hips and being black they become massive. Great connection with the model so she seems natural and alive!

Don't know, arms look funny. Right arm comes out of back and left arm is just twisted funny. Maybe just arms folded behind back....

Nice highlights in eyes and sassy look. Good job. In lots of your shots, you seem to have the ability to put the models at ease. Not easy!

 

Awesome image using a long exposure of the two seaside light beacons. I think it draws me more than some of the other images because it seems less manipulated. There is an ominous quality to the sky and yet the beacons are like two guardians doing their job despite the mocking disrespect of graffitti.

A spectacular encounter. I think this ice block--like a diamond in the rough-- is so fascinating that I felt like I wanted to get closer and examine it. Also, I cropped the image vertically along the left

edge of the floating ice. It seemed to focus my eye on the ice block. The reflections of the mountains lead your eye right to the ice block. Nice! And the subtle purple of the sky across the water is a great way to keep the picture from being blue, black and white. Good job!

I enjoy your images very much! I want to make a story or fantasize about an image. Not many other portfolios take me there. Keep up the good work.

 

 

late evening...a cold metallic road whines under the tires...the driver passes a greasy spoon diner lit by neon...he glances at a window...a redhead catches his eye...he tosses the butt of a cigarette out the window...too late...he's swerved into the path of a semi...almost too late he returns to his lane...next time, Johnny keep your eyes on the road, says a little voice.
